Being a long weekend we had to have a little day trip thrown in. Why it took my husband three years to take me to the great sunken Lake Kashiba (formed when caves collapsed) I don't know - it's only about two and a quarter hour's drive from Kitwe.
Of course I was keen to do the nature walk around the lake where we spotted the usual tiny wildflowers...
...but there was also a huge chunk of mica and some smashed up pieces. It's amazing how mineral-rich this place is.
We picked a spot away from a crowd of school children, next to this charming little parasitic tree.
The water looks crystal clear but don't be fooled - it's not the cleanest. My hair felt sticky and my bikini smelled rather offish after leaping into the lake.
Two sweet little butterflies who happily posed for their photo, on the condition that their drinking break not be interrupted.
